WHAT ARE FAD DIETS?
Is a popular weight-loss program
that claims quick results. Diets
marketed as the finest and
quickest way to lose weight are
known as fad diets.
TYPES OF FAD DIET
LOW- OR RESTRICTED- CARBOHYDRATE DIET

The most popular type of fad diet is this one. Due to limited
carbohydrate intake, the liver is forced to create the necessary
glucose. Protein tissue loss, as well as urine loss of critical ions
like potassium, are the main sources of carbons for this
glucose. It is likely that weight reduction will occur if the diet is
also low in energy.

 LOW-FAT APPROACHES

The extremely low-fat diet turns out to be extremely heavy in

carbohydrates. The fat content of these diets ranges from 5%
to 10% of totaenergy intake.
Dieters eat largely grains, fruits, and vegetables, which is
difficult for most individuals to maintain for long periods of
time. The person will gradually crave foods that are higher in
fat or protein.
 NOVELTY DIETS

Gimmicks are used to support a variety of fad diets. There

is no scientific evidence that these diets function or how
they might work. Some diets focus on a single food or
food group while excluding nearly all others. These diets
are based on the idea that you can only consume eggs,
fruits, or grains for a certain amount of time before feeling
bored and, thus, limiting your energy intake.
